The La Jolla Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, was organized May 16, 1949, by Miss Angeline E. Allen, the organizing regent. Meeting activities are focused on three objectives of the National Society, Daughters of the American Revolution: historic preservation, education, and patriotism.

Recently, we have enjoyed speakers about archaeology, anthropology, and Native Americans. We often invite speakers to our meetings to deepen our knowledge of local issues and programs, American history and heritage, the current state of the U.S. armed forces, and the work of our National Society.

Officially associated with the National Society, Daughters of the American Revolution, our members are active in supporting DAR causes, including fundraising for the many charitable projects of the DAR.
